    Ginger Beer!

    Not those with the limp hand shake.

    I got talking about homebrew ginger beer last night. This is what happens when you have too much Stella on a bank holiday Sunday night.

    When I first went out to the Caribbean I started up my own ginger beer plant. I used to make lashings of the stuff. On its own or mixed with rum; it was a lovely drink. However, the ex put a stop to it.

    I am going to start one up here. Does anyone still do this; or is it a lost art?

        My brother used to make ginger beer. Used to wander about at all times with a bottle in his pocket sipping it through a long piece of plastic tube he nicked off the old man's tropical fish tank.

          Moscow Mules. Mmmmmmmm. Them nice too.

          Travel Tip: When coming back from the Caribbean, do not discuss the Jamaican Mules (Ginger beer and rum). Mr. Customs Officer will introduce you to the delights of anal fisting.

            When I went through my home-made wine phase I did contemplate Ginger Beer but heard enough 'expoding bottles under the sink/stairs/wardrobe etc' horror stories to put me off...

              I think that is why my ex stopped me from making it!

                I used to be very fond of Ginger Beer, when I was a kid living in a desert country Canada Dry was a very popular drink
